Mons Venus World Famous Nude Strip Club Tampa — Restaurant in Tampa

I was very disappointed by Mons Venus. When I pulled up to the club, I was not impressed by the exterior appearance. It was a small, old building with a very small parking lot. It's not well lit and there were some "undesirable" people hanging around outside. It just didn't look like a top of the line strip club

Things didn't get any better once I went inside. The woman at the front "desk" was rude and unprofessional. I paid $20 for admission and, after getting into the club, I don't understand why there was an admission in the first place. The club was tiny, first of all. Normally, I don't mind small strip clubs. I'm from Atlanta and I've been to plenty of small "ghetto" strip clubs. However, this club was not only small, but it was also outdated. I could immediately see that MV was in dire need of renovation. It just felt dank and rundown to me. The funny thing is, the ghetto clubs I've been to in ATL were far nicer than MV. I now have a new appreciation for those ghetto clubs. I just don't understand how a "premier" club in Tampa Bay was so mediocre on the inside.

Even though I wasn't thrilled about the interior, it wasn't bad enough to make me want to leave immediately. So, I went ahead and took a seat. Immediately I noticed that the women up on stage were doing next to nothing. They were just shuffling around listlessly on the stage and it was kind of depressing to witness. I guess I can't blame them because the customers in the club were hardly tipping. Moreover, the music was barely audible. I don't like loud, blaring music but the music in this place was barely audible. At first, I didn't like that the club was so dark. But, after more thought, I think I prefer the darkness of MV. When I'm getting a full contact lap dance or tipping a girl on stage, I definitely don't want a big spotlight on my face.

The women that night were definitely attractive, but they weren't drop dead gorgeous like I was expecting. They were just attractive. The women ranged from attractive to very attractive, but I didn't see one girl that I would have classified as a dime (or even a 9). I saw some strong 7's & 8's but none of them were really above that. Normally, I would be happy with strong 7's & 8's but not when dances cost $30 a pop. At $30 per dance, the club should have nothing but 9's and 10's.

Speaking of dances, they are not worth $30. I know of an ATL strip club that offers full contact dances for $5 and some of the girls in that place really are 9's and 10's. The girls at MV would probably smirk at the idea of giving a $5 dance, but I'm willing to bet a large sum of money that the girls in ATL make a lot more than the girls in MV offering $30 dances. I noticed that very few customers were actually getting dances, whereas in ATL a guy is willing to get dance after dance after dance when he's only paying $5 AND the girls are hot (not to mention the fact that liquor is allowed in ATL).

I also find it funny that the girls all seemed to have bad attitudes (which, I can kind of understand b/c it didn't appear they were making much money...still no excuse though). And they virtually ignored me. I had loads of cash to spend but during the entire time I was there, only 2 girls asked if I wanted to dance. Instead, most of the girls were sitting in the laps of their "regulars" (for free) and ignoring good paying customers such as me. I guess they assumed I was broke but they thought wrong.

Considering the fact that I spent a total of $60 for TWO dances, I was not impressed by what I got (keep in mind, I could have gotten 12 full contact dances from hot chicks for that price in ATL). The first dance I got was okay. She was cute and she did a good job of making sure I got full contact. But it still wasn't worth $30. The second chick barely initiated much physical contact and when I offered to pay $25 for the dance, she acted as if she was insulted (even though she was not all that impressive and the dance she gave was mediocre and she was working in a rinky dink club). If all clubs were like MV I probably would...

dead vibe. 3 girls on phones, no one on stage, 3 guys in there bored and watching tv. $12 entrance fee and nothing going on. When the girls engage with you, it's just to hustle you. Since the girls have to pay to work nightly and without anyone there to make their money, they get desperate and revert to hustling and being pushy. Anyhow, you think you want to go to another gentlemen's club in Tampa and find better? Nope Tampa is dead in general. I went to each of them, 2001, scores, etc... all the same. At least this one didn't rip you off at the door like 2001 did. Parking at 2001 was $10, then door fee was $20, and it was more dead than Mons Venus. They literally keep the door closed and hidden so you cannot see inside then have a nerve to charge you that high of a door fee without any girls working expect 2 who sat on their phones in booth and ignored everyone!!! LOL RIP OFF! At least Mons one was less of a rip off. BTW, $40 lap dances and $36 to the house for a lap dance! haha. This place is terrible. Clubs in Miami puts Tampa to shame! I truly think it was a 1 star, but I'll try to be encouraging and give...

Went on a Tuesday night for my bachelor(ette) party (my fiancé and I and some friends went together). We had an awesome time. The girls gave us plenty of attention when we wanted it and if we sat back just to watch (which we did a fair bit), they left us to it. I thought I would mind the no drinking thing but they freely let you come and go to your car so we stayed fairly inebriated by going in and out. You could also pay $3 for a styrofoam cup and refill that to bring in and out of the club. The girls were all very nice as were the people that I believe were management. It was our entire group's first time in a strip club and we had so much fun. Didn't mind the no private rooms, personally found being able to see other people's dances helpful and didn't mind people seeing us. I also thought the small size was good. The girls were talented and attractive. Definitely planning a...
